‘It may just be sex, but sex can be therapeutic’
For AVN Stars findom Queen Adora, kink is not just her profession, she sees it
as an educational mission. She comes from a family of health care professionals,
and studied psychology in college. That background, she says, has led her to
take what she calls a “balanced” approach to her role as a dom, and to use
BDSM as a “therapeutic” technique in her work.
“I’ve always been educated in kink, I’ve always been into it,” she says. “In
movies, in art, in fashion. That’s how I was exposed to BDSM. I was in acting
school, so making fetish clip content kind of just came naturally. That was just my
thing — acting, writing, speaking. So making erotica, all that stuff was instilled in
me through childhood. And my psychology interest just made me more interested
in BDSM, because I learned the therapeutic aspects of kink.”
Her transition from college, where she majored in business and minored in
psychology, into kink happened “naturally,” as she feels that her interest in creating
content flowed directly into her role as both a dominatrix, and as she describes
herself, an educator in the field of kink, and even a therapist of sorts.
“All of these things can be blended so naturally, and how they are without people
realizing,” she told AVN. “It may just be sex, but sex can be therapeutic. And a lot
of times, it’s not just sex. Some people get arousal from dynamics — dominating
a sub. That therapy, that outlet, that comfort, that safe space.”
Adora was mentored at the age of 18 by a local dominatrix near her home in
upstate New York. Now she passes on the education she received to younger
women as well — though she is only 22 years old. She says she wants her age
publicized, because she wants to serve as an inspiration for younger women in
the field.
Her own education is far from finished. She plans to return to school to study
writing and filmmaking, “two things that I’m really passionate about,” as well
as “African-American and Latino History. Those two things are very, very, very
important to me, to get in tune with my culture in general.” Her work as a findom
is supporting those interests, she says.
“All of this findom money is pretty much going toward my second degree,” she
says. “It’s a blessing. It really is. Before I started I never even fathomed that it
would be paying for college, paying for everything.”
